When Steven moved into Lauren's suite he also gained 2 additional room mates; Lauren's cat's, Josie and Grayson! Unfortunately Josie passed that same year but little did Steven know there was more animals to come.

In 2019 they adopted 'Vern', the 4 month old Prairie Dog. It wasn't long until they adopted a friend for him... 'Rico'

In 2020 they decided it was time to add a dog to the mix. They eagerly packed up the car and drove to Clevland, Ohio to purchase 'Aspen' the Australian Shepherd AKA the best thing they've ever done!

In 2021 Lauren and Steven received a call from a veterinarian in Wisconsin explaining there were 2 prairie dogs in need of rescuing in Syracuse, NY. Obviously they didn't need to think twice and headed their way. 'Tito' and 'Tony' are now living their best life with 'Vern' and 'Rico'!

It doesn't stop there..... Lauren started a new job at CDVRH in 2023. She bottle raised her first baby kitten who ended up being a "Foster Fail" He goes by the name "Groot". Lauren also took home her second dog "Summit" the Border Collie in 2024 when his previous family was going to dump him after he was hit by a car.

They later welcomed Oakley to the farm to live out the rest of his years with 2 canine companions.

Lauren and Steven's fur family is very important to them, make sure to keep an eye out for them on their special day as they may make an appearance!
